Against the Educational Hierarchy: Travel, Teach, Subdue

Summary/Abstract: Relying primarily on the analyses and suggestions by Rancière and Lévi-Strauss, the authorsof this paper endeavour to present a critique of the hierarchically valued landmarks of travellingand education. The first part of the paper is dedicated to Western travellers and their ‘civilising’ treatmentof other landscapes and peoples, previously unknown. The second part of the paper identifies an analogouspattern when it comes to relationship established in the educational process, where the new and theunknown also have to be mastered, conquered, and subdued by unquestionable knowledge. The conclusionsuggests the possibility of deconstructing the predefined system of civilisation and/or knowledge, with aview to creating the possibility for the affirmation of differences without domination, as well as learningwithout an unambiguous explanation, a possibility that may perhaps materialise with the abandoningof the illusion about the universal authority of Knowledge and its possessor.
